Al , I have no idea other than it was on a so called International page in the paper ,I cant understand why they would put this picture in ,its drawn attention for all the wrong reasons , and unfortunately the finger is obviously pointed at hunting and maybe cruelty to animals by hunters , I had the picture pinned up in my work room the day I rang the paper ,I had to take the picture out of my sight it really upset me in my mind looking at it , I love Deer as much as I love hunting them and I hate to see a deer or any animal suffer like this .

Daryl write a letter using the info above and challenge the authenticity of the pics.

When any of these sort of things are published we should challenge the pic's authenticity. Analyse the pic for factual distortion and bring them to journal/mag/paper's attention, in a polite questioning letter. Don't argue with each other, anti's love cherry picking our responses and condemnation comments. None of us support animal cruelty that is why we all aim to have a clean kill!

I reckon that's a Photoshop job guys. Why is there no blood staining or wetness around the wound and the broadhead is clean as a whistle. The arrow is also not casting any shadow on the deer.
PETA and the likes are good at beating up propaganda like this.

Good point.

I was talking to the Asia Pacific Coordinator from PETA about the obvious lies to do with sheep shearing, and in the end, she said; "we will have to agree to disagree".

something similar here, granted it says "crossbow" but the average joe would tarnish all with the same brush.

What is worse is that many of us wrote to the news outlet and told them the "arrow" was a spear from a spear gun and the newspaper didn't give a ****. Gone are the days when journalists had integrity and wanted to report the news accurately, these days it is all about selling advertising space and controversy and outrage sell way more papers than truth.
